Gaëlle Nohant (Author) Gaëlle Nohant is the author of L'Ancre des rêves, published in 2007 and winner of the Encre Marine prize, organised by France's Navy. Her second novel, La Part des flammes, was awarded the 2016 Prix du Livre de Poche and the Prix du Livre France Bleu - Page des Librairies. The Légende d'un dormeur éveillé also won the 2017 Prix des Librairies. Her latest novel is The Bureau of Fates which is currently being translated into ten languages and adapted to the screen.

A gripping, poetic and historically accurate description of one of the principal institutions of Holocaust research, the International Tracing Service at Bad Arolsen. Gaëlle Nohant gave me access to the archives, a place full of secrets, withheld for decades. I couldn't stop reading this seemingly simple but vital story of returning objects to their rightful place. I was transported by the violence, grief, trauma, generational secrets, and ultimately the power of memory and restitution.
